Beast (X-Men Box Set) - I expected this to be the same as the Beast we already had, and mostly he is, but he's better at standing upright (something in the hip joints). I guess this means we have one Beast to go with the X-Men and another to hang with the Avengers.
Bullseye - This is where I show how well Toybiz' marketing strategy works, because I'd never have purchased him if I wasn't trying to put together the Galactus figure. It's a decent figure--flexible and posable, although the paint job could be better (white on black doesn't take too well, apparently)--but I have never read Daredevil. Ah well, he will just have to fight the Avengers.
Gambit (X-Men Box Set) - Very nice design, very playable (well articulated, very flexible), and looks good--looks like the character, in fact. The face is excellent.
Magneto (X-Men Box Set) - Decently articulated, flexible. The helmet doesn't fit very well and I'm afraid it's destined to be lost at some point. Otherwise a good toy.
Original Grey Hulk - Possibly this is just my copy, but he isn't terribly grey, more of a grey turning to green (or is it a green turning to grey?). It's actually a neat effect, color-wise, so I won't complain, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional. A little stiff in some joints, but reasonably flexible for such a broad figure.
Rogue (X-Men Box Set) - Looks fine from a short distance, but the body is odd--the hip joints in particular, the butt cheeks are articulated and the legs, apparently, permanently spread. The face is terrible--she looks like she's had more Botox and collagen than is probably legal. The costume looks good, though.
Wolverine (X-Men Box Set) - Larger and more muscular than the other Wolverine we have. Has no mask and the head seems permanently cocked to one side, Nice toy, though--posable, flexible, decent design. (And these days you need more than one Wolverine just to keep up with all of his appearances!)
